Three Board Game Recommendation Questions – Ask The Bellhop

by 2 Comments

Our audience wants to know what to buy/play next,

Since launching Tabletop Bellhop we have received almost 30 gaming and game night questions. Thank you so much to everyone who has sent in a question.
So far we have looked at six of those questions and gone into pretty deep detail on all them. These were all questions that had long answers. Many of the questions we have gotten aren't quite as in-depth and aren't the kind of thing that requires an entire blog post or podcast episode to answer.
Today we are going to take a look at some of those questions, specifically questions looking for game recommendations, and answer three of them in one blog post. As usual, we will also be discussing these questions on our next podcast, which you can watch us record live at twitch.tv/tabletopbellhop Thursday nights at 9:30 eastern. [ READ MORE ]

Today's question: Jayden asks, Are custom inserts worth it? For instance, my group has been playing a fair bit of Rising Sun with all the goodies (like 4 boxes worth of unpacking), and it takes about 10 minutes to set up and nearly 20 or 30 minutes to put away properly. I'm wondering if inserts can help with the clean up.
In addition to talking about inserts, we take an extended look back at The Tabletop Bellhop Launch Party where we all played a ton of games. [ READ MORE ]

Tabletop Gaming Weekly – Aug 13th – #WhatDidYouPlayMondays

by Leave a Comment

Each week I take a look back at the previous week. Consider it a #WhatDidYouPlayMondays review. I'll be letting you know what I played and share some thoughts on each game.

Monday night I finally got The Colonists off my pile of shame. The big news though, was that Saturday was our launch party. For those of you that didn't have a chance to stop by the live stream, I can tell you that a great time was had by all and we got a ton of gaming in during the 12-hour event. I personally played nine different board games that night and there was lots of gaming going on that I wasn't involved in. Overall it was a huge success and a ton of fun. [ READ MORE ]

Each week I'm going to take a look back at the previous week. Basically, an in-depth #WhatDidYouPlayMondays. I will be talking about the games I played, any events I was involved with, etc.

Last week was awesome gaming wise. I've got an extensive Pile of Shame and getting games off of that pile feels good. I was able to take Wasteland Express Delivery Service, Hansa Teutonica and Warhammer Underworlds Shadespire off my pile this past week. I also got in another play of Bruges. Oh and of course there was some Azul being played. [ READ MORE ]
